Do you want to clear the *view* (the GtkTextView) or the *model* (the
GtkTextBuffer)?
If the former, you want to remove the TextBuffer and replace it with a
new one.
If the latter, you just need to clear the buffer. Try something like:
textbuffer.erase(textbuffer.start(), textbuffer.end());
for Gtkmm, or else for GTK+ (untested), try
GtkTextIter start, end;
gtk_text_buffer_get_start_iter(textbuffer, &start);
gtk_text_buffer_get_end_iter(textbuffer, &end);
gtk_textbuffer_delete(textbuffer, &start, &end);
Both should have the same effect.
